	<P><H3>Psalm 123</H3>
	<SUP class="vnum">1</SUP> "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say- 
	<SUP class="vnum">2</SUP> "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, When men rose up against us, 
	<SUP class="vnum">3</SUP> Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us; 
	<SUP class="vnum">4</SUP> Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul; 
	<SUP class="vnum">5</SUP> Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul." 
	<SUP class="vnum">6</SUP> Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth. 
	<SUP class="vnum">7</SUP> Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The snare is broken, and we have escaped. 
	<SUP class="vnum">8</SUP> Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
